Definitions
- the instrument 10 has a main shaft 250 having a locking tube 210 , a housing 300 , and a driver shaft 100 .
- the driver shaft 100 has a distal end 104 opposite a proximal end 102 .
- a handle known to those skilled in the art (not shown) can be attached to the proximal end 102 in order to assist a surgeon rotating the driver shaft 100 .
- the main shaft 250 is a generally tubular structure having open ends.
- the main shaft 250 includes a screw jaw assembly 260 .
- Housing 300 is connected to the locking tube 210 by means of cam screws 222 .
- the action or motion may thus be performed in a single direction commonly used to thrust a screwdriver into frictional/compressive engagement of the driver tip within the screw head.
- single direction action is used to temporarily hold the screw assembly 400 to the driver tip until the surgeon performs additional acts to further retain the instrument to the screw assembly.
